Ingredients
2 1/2 Cup flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Teaspoon salt
1 Cup butter
7 Tablespoon ice water
10 Apples, peeled, cored & sliced
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
1 Teaspoon ginger
1 Whole orange zest

1/3 Cup brown sugar
1/3 Cup flour
2 Tablespoon butter
1/3 Cup Cranberries, fresh
1 egg, beaten
1 Tablespoon Sugar, raw
Steps
1
To make the pie dough, In the bowl of a food processor combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse to combine.2
With the machine running, drop in little pieces of cold butter until all butter is added and mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add cold water 1 Tbsp at a time until dough comes together. You may not need all the water.3
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll into 2 big rounds large enough to cover the pie dish with an overhang of at least 1-inch. Place into the pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork.4
When ready to cook, set the Traeger to 350℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.5
For the Pie Filling: In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, cinnamon, ginger, orange zest, lemon juice, brown sugar, flour, and butter. Toss to coat well and transfer to a baking sheet.6
Place baking sheet in the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, just until the apples release their juices.7
Remove apples from the grill, combine with cranberries and place into the prepared pan reserving the juices.8
Place the other pie dough on top of the apples, crimp the edges, cut slits into the top to vent, brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.9
Place directly on the grill grate and cook for 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.10
Let cool before slicing. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
